It’s Monday. We’re back!
It’s Thanksgiving week, and therefore inherently chaotic. And pretty soon, it’ll all just be chaos plus Christmas music.
- 67 days until funding for most of the government ends again, and we face another shutdown
- 1,153 days remaining in Trump’s legal term of office
- 344 days until the midterm elections, if we have them
- 405 days—if we have those elections—until we seat that new Congress.
Our random country generator says, today’s an unlucky day for: Lebanon!
Man, it’s gonna be crowded in Lebanon! The Israelis are already there. Plus, of course, the Lebanese. And not a few Palestinians! There’s hardly even room for us to invade.
But they have got a lovely coastline. Perhaps a few Trump Towers are in order?
We’ve not had great luck in occupying Lebanon, though. Trump might even remember that, the bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut having happened during the 1980s.
On the other hand, it may also be possible that his only mental impression of Lebanon is the “controversy” surrounding a selfie taken by Miss Israel at the Miss Universe pageant in early 2014 that apparently included Miss Lebanon, who came in for political criticism for it, though she insisted the photo was non-consensual.
You and I don’t care much about that, but it absolutely could still weigh heavily on Donald Trump’s mind, such as it is.
Ha ha! Oh, well. That’s Our Trump!™
